Fuel Line Ends
- Thread starter zalo9
- Start date
Welcome to the forum! Those "ends" are not a BMW OEM item...looks like someone got something to fit from the hardware store, etc. I can see that you have two different style of fuel lines. Below the T connection it looks like it is the standard fabric coated line while above the T it's a auto parts store gas line. The fabric line is designed to fit without any clamps whereas the auto part store fuel line is too big in ID so it might need some kind of clamp.
But at this point, I'm not sure where to get what you want, but I'd look for something that is a plastic cup and you might have to use a knife to cut out some of the flat part at the bottom.

Those look similar to what I use on my airheads: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01NAXA...olid=171DBRNKVTLH9&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
I slip them over a dowel held in my vise then use a gasket punch to make a 6mm hole for the spigot. A dab of black RTV helps keep them secured to the fabric covering the OEM-style fuel line. The caps are available in several sizes; I usually keep the 12mm and 13mm sizes on hand.

What is your desired outcome? I’ve found the factory braided fuel line fits the petcocks and t-fittings snuggly without any hose clamps. BoxerMetal sells metal fittings that slip over the fuel line. I believe it gives it that little extra bling but other than appearance, I’m not sure what function those serve.
I’ve never have had issues with the factory style fuel line leaking. It also allows for a clean look and easy on/off.
I’ve always used the braided line so apologies if I’m not helping with what you’re looking for
